Peace prize winner 'could kill' Bush Annabelle McDonald 25jul06 NOBEL peace laureate Betty Williams displayed a flash of her feisty Irish spirit yesterday, lashing out at US President George W.Bush during a speech to hundreds of schoolchildren. Campaigning on the rights of young people at the Earth Dialogues forum, being held in Brisbane, Ms Williams spoke passionately about the deaths of innocent children during wartime, particularly in the Middle East, and lambasted Mr Bush. "I have a very hard time with this word 'non-violence', because I don't believe that I am non-violent," said Ms Williams, 64. "Right now, I would love to kill George Bush." Her young audience at the Brisbane City Hall clapped and cheered. "I don't know how I ever got a Nobel Peace Prize, because when I see children die the anger in me is just beyond belief. It's our duty as human beings, whatever age we are, to become the protectors of human life." Ms Williams was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize 30 years ago, when she circulated a petition to end violence in Northern Ireland after witnessing British soldiers shoot dead an IRA member who was driving a car. He veered on to the footpath, killing two children from one family instantly and fatally injuring a third. Ms Williams's petition had tens of thousands of Protestant and Catholic women walking the streets together in protest. Now the former office receptionist heads the World Centres of Compassion for Children International, a non-profit group working to create a political voice for children. "My job is to tell you their stories," Ms Williams said of a recent trip to Iraq. "We went to a hospital where there were 200 children; they were beautiful, all of them, but they had cancers that the doctors couldn't even recognise. From the first Gulf War, the mothers' wombs were infected. "As I was leaving the hospital, I said to the doctor, 'How many of these babies do you think are going to live?' "He looked me straight in the eye and said, 'None, not one'. They needed five different kinds of medication to treat the cancers that the children had, and the embargoes laid on by the United States and the United Nations only allowed them three." Wrapping up the three-day forum yesterday, delegates agreed to a 26-point action plan. "There can be no sustainable peace while the majority of the world's population lives in poverty," they said. "There can be no sustainable peace if we fail to rise to the global challenge presented by climate change. "There can be no sustainable peace while military spending takes precedence over human development."
Given the cause of her anger is Bush's war, she probably deserves another prize for restraint.... <img src=http://www.msad50.org/stg/lgallant/yes6.jpg>
This hag and her comments on her visit to Iraq (Blaming Bush for Iraqi children's cancers and lack of medicine, never mind that Bush probably wasn't President during her visit) reminds me of another hag - Margaret something - who fussed around Iraq until the peaceful and just Iraqi insurgents captured her, her last communication was a video of her begging for her life, before some British soldiers found her body.
Do you know what the GULF WAR SYNDROME is? It's caused by the residue after the firing of depleted uranium shells. The Americans use Depleted Uranium Shell INTENTIONALLY. They leave these shells in the soil so that the entire food supply becomes carcinogenic.
I'd suggest getting back on your meds, but there was an earlier post suggesting they weren't effective. How about this, keep your pyschosis to yourself. As for this woman, typical shrill,hysterical lunatic. "I'd like to kill a world-leader" ... Oh, hey that might bring you some unwanted attention. I've said the Iraq war was ill-conceived from day one, but I may be turning ... This many crackpots crawling out of the wood-work CANT BE RIGHT .....
This Klansman fool read somewhere on the computer net (that's internet for the rest of us) that depleted uranium is harmless, so it must be so! If the average American has the IQ of this fool, all I got to say is god help Americans from themselves! ROTFLMAO!
I go even further, I was slightly left of center when I joined ET. Now I am way on the right, thanks to reading ZZZ et al.
There was a time when gentlemen would draw pistols in times such as these... Here we are on a weblog with only words to rely on.... Sir, If given the chance, I would gut you, and strangle you with your own intestines.
